Portable A/C + Casement Window?

Question

I have a casement-style window... I'm planning on purchasing a portable air conditioner and I was wondering if I could simply stick the tube out the window, and have it hanging out the window. I'm not aiming to have it look nice or anything, I just want it work and be able to cool down a small room.

You may also consider looking at casement or "slider" type units for non traditional windows. Follow link for more info including dimensions. Look around for different sizes and features,,,keep kewl <>http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605...

Answer 2

The portables come with an adapter to fit a normal double hung window.  You can adapt it to a casement by sticking it in the window just before it closes completely and then packing whatever around the window.  

Don't forget to pull the whole business in when it rains or you have to leave the place without a guard for your valuables.
